Bonnie DeMoss's Reviews > The Search

Grace Livingston Hill wrote Christian romances a hundred years ago. Although times have changed and some of her comments seem old fashioned or even insensitive, others have stood the test of time. The main theme in this book is forgiving your enemy, as God has forgiven you. That was true in 1919 when this book was written, and it's true now. The Search is about a young man who is thrust into World War I and his cruel, lying lieutenant, who he has to deal with constantly. The role Salvation Army played in World War I is described too. Not only did they witness to soldiers, but they provided camps with food and a place to sleep, as well as nursing care for the young soldiers. I had no idea of the complexity of their role. If you enjoy Christian romances with a message, as well as a historical viewpoint from someone who lived during that time, you will enjoy this book.
